For many North Dakotans, traveling for specialized medical care is a regular part of life—especially when it goes beyond routine family medicine. That’s been the experience for Kayla Hewitt and her son, Tanyon. “When he was diagnosed, our state worker immediately told us about NDAD and the programs that might be able to help,” Kayla recalls.
NDAD is partnering with family and friends to host the Jeff Knoll Fundraiser on Thursday, November 19, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. at El Zagal Shrine in Fargo.
NDAD is proud to announce a new round of Gibbens Memorial Grant awards supporting a wide range of community-driven initiatives that expand accessibility, inclusion and quality of life across North Dakota and the surrounding region. In total, NDAD awarded $60,000 to 11 organizations across North Dakota with this grant.
